Page development
[edit]Hey @Launchballer! Hope you had a lovely Christmas & New Year! Found these guys' music recently and have been really enjoying, planning on bringing this page to life over the coming weeks, feel free to help out :)) George (talk) 21:08, 7 January 2025 (UTC)
- @Georgeykiwi: you as well. I was planning on working on it this morning, however I woke up to discover that Wargasm had been claimed for GA review and I did say I wanted to run it as a triple nom, so my priority is rolling out Dead! and Sam Matlock, in that order. (As you might have noticed, GA is in backlog mode; as well as Swim School, I've had seven of mine claimed in the last three days including Honey Revenge and Dead Pony, so I'm feeling pretty frazzled right now.) I'll get to this once I've finished with those.--Launchballer 15:13, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

- ... that South Arcade once set up for a BBC Radio 1 performance with less than a minute to spare?

- I read the Kerrang! piece, and they made it sound exciting there, but this simplifies to "the band was ready to perform on schedule". What if we add more details (that aren't currently in the article), like the fact that they had to re-download the files for the performance, live, on stage, while the presenter was announcing them?

- Hooks are supposed to be tight, but I can suggest ALT1: ... that technical issues in the minute before their November 2024 BBC Radio 1 performance meant that South Arcade had to set up while the presenter was announcing them?--Launchballer 20:06, 17 January 2025 (UTC)
- Length is good. Newness is good - moved out of draftspace. I'm not thrilled with source #1, as it's not independent, but it's only being used to support their year of formation, and you've properly established notability. I'm similarly <frown/> re: citing their "supporting tours" to their social media, and would be more pleased if you had some more non-them sources. Citing their discography to Spotify... that's pretty standard, I think? Earwig says 17%, which is fine. Hook is cited and hooky. No pic. QPQ is fine. If you can address those issues, we'll be good with ALT1. DS (talk) 22:37, 17 January 2025 (UTC)
- I was under the impression there was significantly more latitude given to non-prose content, but I've replaced one ref and taken out three others.--Launchballer 15:44, 19 January 2025 (UTC)
There is, I was just being fussy. We're good with ALT1. DS (talk) 12:12, 20 January 2025 (UTC)
